McClellan: Twenty years and counting for Arnold murder

Weltig had been shot with his own gun. It was a gun he kept under a box on the counter. He kept it there because he really was afraid of robberies. But what was the chance a robber would come in and somehow end up with Weltig’s gun? That seemed unlikely. Surely, the robber would have had his own weapon.

More likely, it was someone who knew Weltig kept a gun under the box.
